Why is Mainstream Media Ignoring Arab Terrorism?

I keep getting alerts on facebook and from the Jewish Press about all sorts of terror attacks against Jewish vehicles etc. But when I check the Jerusalem Post and other mainstream media, there's nary a mention.

“One [New York] Times opinion editor, Matt Seaton, even admitted last year [2014 CE] that the newspaper has a policy of veering away from criticism of Palestinians.”

SOURCE:Final sentence of article titled: “New York Times Editor: Coverage of Israel Most Criticized Aspect of Opinion Pages” by Shiryn Ghermezian, 2015 October 14, found in: The Algemeiner.www.algemeiner.com/2015/10/14/new-york-times-editor-coverage-of-israel-most-criticized-aspect-of-opinion-pages/

MICROBIOGRAPHY:Pat Condell is an atheist, who was born in Ireland around 1950 CE, and raised in England as a Roman Catholic, and educated in Church of England schools. He has no Jewish ancestors and no religious beliefs that might cause him to favor Jews.

“There is yet a third strain of the current virus of anti-Semitism, this one even more difficult to diagnose. Its danger lies in its subtlety, its pervasiveness, and its acceptability at all levels of our society. This is a phenomenon familiar to all of us, yet difficult to articulate and expose: the singling out of Jewish institutions and especially Israel for special scrutiny, and the application of a double-standard to Jewish things and persons.

This phenomenon, which currently has no accepted name, assumes a variety of forms, but its most obvious manifestation is the special and often gloating attention paid by the media, [and] by intellectuals, and by the government to any deviation by Israel, no matter how trivial, from the highest norms of humans rights, civility, and sacrifice.

Though Israel may be deserving of criticism, what is missing is the comparable criticism of equal or greater violations by other countries and other groups. This constant, often legitimate criticism of Israel for every one of it deviations, when coupled with the absence of legitimate criticism of others, creates the impression currently prevalent on university campuses and in the press that Israel is among the worst rights violators in the world.

We have all heard that phrase repeated many times. It is not true, but if it is repeated often enough, it takes on a reality of its own.”

When will everyone realize that mainstream media worldwide are the "LEFT" and work for their respective governments. They delete, omit, distort, fabricate, etc., etc. all for their agendas. And Jews are always the thorns in their sides, so Jews have a 'special status of being hated'.Only since the internet, have those who are alert and aware able to find some truths. Daily weather reports are probably the only news that one can somewhat rely on or better still, look out the window.
